[Verse 1: Left at London]
Do you hate us?
Do you see our opposition, & relate us?
You’re incapable of empathy
(Ay yeah, ay yeah)
Do you see us?
Did you send the pigs who love you to defeat us?
You’re a product of supremacy
(Ay yeah)
so I say,
[Chorus: Left at London & Nobi]
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
This song’s
For the people you killed
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
(You are cordially invited
to the riots of the workforce)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
This song’s
For the people you killed
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
(But I’d rather be united
than indicted by a third source)
[Verse 2: Left at London]
Do we scare you?
If you’d like for peace of mind, well then, how dare you?
You were never on our side before
(Ay yeah, ay yeah)
We’ve outgrown you,
Are you frightened of the day that we’ll dethrone you?
Is that all that you been fighting for?
Oh, oh
[Verse 3: Nobi]
Blood on the leaves
Strung us from trees
Blood on they knees
Loosin my breath
noose on my neck
but there’s blood on your hands
And they got it on cam, huh
You don’t police, police
that’s why the homie can’t breathe
Where the fuck is the peace?
Where the fuck is the justice?
All I see is corruption
always changin the subject
You been duckin the public
Saw your cops was corrupted
need to chop up the budget
How the fuck do we trust you?
No respect for your leadership
No arrest for Charleena’s death
Why the fuck ain’t it done yet
Why the fuck ain’t it done yet
Why the fuck ain’t it done yet
[Chorus: Left at London & Nobi]
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
This song’s
For the people you killed
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
(You are cordially invited
to the riots of the workforce)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
This song’s
For the people you killed
(ah-ah-ah-ah)
Fuck you,
& the slavers that you work for
(But I’d rather be united
than indicted by a third source)

[Verse 1]
Oftentimes I scare my reflection
Sometimes I don’t like what it sees
I will find myself alone often
It’s common I’ll talk to myself
But it wasn’t my own voice that told me
[Chorus]
"Don’t scream
One word & I’ll crash this car
I know that you don’t know me
But I know just who you are"
(Hey ya)
"Don’t cry
Weep for who I’ll make you hurt
You don’t get to go to hell
Till you’re 6 feet in the dirt"
[Verse 2]
I will try to love myself better (Hey!)
I don’t want to die in this way
Maybe I’ll be like this forever
And I don’t mind the voices much
But I still can’t disregard what they say
[Chorus]
"Don’t scream
One word & I’ll crash this car
I know that you don’t know me
But I know just who you are"
(Hey ya)
"Don’t cry
Weep for who I’ll make you hurt
You don’t get to go to hell
Till you’re 6 feet in the dirt"
[Bridge]
Don't scream
One word & I'll crash this car
I know that you don't know me
[Chorus]
"Don’t scream
One word & I’ll crash this car
I know that you don’t know me
But I know just who you are"
(Hey ya)
"Don’t cry
Weep for who I’ll make you hurt
You don’t get to go to hell
Till you’re 6 feet in the dirt"
[Outro]
Oh oh oh
No no no no
Oh oh oh
Ooh-ooh
Ahh-oh
Hah
Ooh
(Hey ya)

[Intro]
Mmm
[Verse 1]
If I have to wake up,
Could you hold me as I dream?
Could you call me “sweetheart”
Lighten up my color scheme
[Pre-chorus 1]
You say you love me always
& I appreciate the sentiment,
So pardon me if I am hesitant
I can’t believe you some days
But it’s because of something wrong with me
Is optimistic what I ought to be?
So,
[Chorus]
Turn the lights off baby
Can you heal my heart
Can you choke me harder
‘Fore I fall apart?
Turn the lights off baby
Can I make you come?
If I can’t feel pleasure,
Can I give you some?
[Verse 2]
If I have to wake up
Please don’t leave me in my sleep
I can hear the door close
I can hear the floorboards creek
[Pre-chorus 2]
& you said you’d never leave me
& I appreciate the sentiment
But even love can be indefinite
you said, “babe, please believe me”
But I’m accustomed to the mess I’ve made
I tend to blame it on the retrograde
Yeah
[Chorus]
Turn the lights off baby
Can you heal my heart
Can you choke me harder
‘Fore I fall apart?
Turn the lights off baby
Can I make you come?
If I can’t feel pleasure,
Can I give you some?
[Outro]
Oh
No, no

[Verse 1: Vera Much]
I know I should be glad you found me (glad you found me)
that’s why i’m glad you found me (glad you found me)
I just want you safe and sound (safe and sound)
I just need your arms around me
I just need your arms around me (arms around me)
I just need you around me
I hope that you get there
I hope when you get there
I hope that you’ll ask about me (ask about me)
I hope you find out about me
everything you wanna find
I hope they can tell you bout me
I hope that you have time
I know you need your time
You know i’d never lie,
Except for when i lie on you in the night
I know it’s alright cause you say it’s alright
[Chorus: Left at London]
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry
[Verse 2: Left at London]
I give my heart out
only for it to break
I fell in love
It’s a beginners mistake
she told me “you can paint your anger,
But try to get my good side as well,”
But I’m running out of things
to say
I don’t need you, (I don’t need you)
But I need you, (but I need you)
If this the new you,
What did I teach you? (What did I teach you)
Saw you at the party,
but I couldn’t reach you (couldn’t reach you)
Said I missed you,
you said “good to see you”
& I wish I could recover,
I don’t love you anymore, yet
I don’t know if I can love again
But the crowds want a love song
But It doesn’t feel honest now the love’s gone
[Chorus: Left at London]
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry
[Verse 3: Left at London]
But I haven’t felt that way in so long
& a love like ours was such a pleasant one,
But honestly my trust in love has faltered,
& now all I have’s regrets & gratitude
& if falling in love
is all that it takes
To make you love the world
You’ll be bitter when they go
Because even infinity in it’s entirety
Still can turn to nothingness
When it’s multiplied by zero
[Outro: Left at London]
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
I guess my love is conditional
I guess it’s harder to give it away
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
I guess my love is conditional
I guess it’s harder to give it away
(I write for no one in particular)
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
(I sing for someone I may never meet, but)
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
(I would like to smile again,)
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
(I would like)
You knew your love was conditional,
Why did you promise to stay?

[Pre-chorus: Left at London]
If i could go outside again
& i could be like any other girl
I’d dress in a face mask
& walk on the beach till my feet hurt
If i were twelve years old again
& i had all the money in the world,
I’d buy me a pool pass
& drown myself in a t shirt
[Chorus: Left at London]
oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
needed for the world not to turn no more
Tried it but the bridge won’t burn
oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
needed for the world not to turn no more
Tried it but the bridge won’t burn
[Verse 1: Left at London]
I prayed, (pray)
Seems as if god & the devil have been fighting over me
I let whoever take over the motions supposedly
I don’t remember a lot of the way that it felt before
But I know that it must be better cuz
I
Cry
So
Much more
But at least it feels more like healing
Than
It
Did
Before
But i still can’t shake this feeling that
[Pre-chorus: Left at London]
If i could go outside again
& i could be like any other girl
I’d dress in a face mask
& walk on the beach till my feet hurt
If i were twelve years old again
& i had all the money in the world,
I’d buy me a pool pass
& drown myself in a t shirt
[Chorus: Left at London]
oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
needed for the world to not to turn no more
Tried it but the bridge won’t burn
oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
needed for the world not to turn no more
Tried it but the bridge won’t burn
[Outro: Valeria Espinal]
“As long as i just keep my breathing steady, & as long as i just keep moving my legs, things’ll just... eventually be fine. I kept wanting to find dangerous things to climb on or walk on or... do whatever on, because it was like... it was a kind of danger that i could feel for myself without it being a danger that was produced by other humans. Just seeing human bodies be extremely resilient or human bodies just having all these impulses in the things that they do to keep themselves safe. Theres just so many little things at play. It’s just taking care of everything in the background.”

[Verse 1: Left at London & Chuck Sutton]
Sometimes i close my eyes to talk to you
when i can’t make up my mind since you make it up, too
one in the same one in the same, it always felt so real
lemme hold your hand, hold our hand, so you can feel what i feel
[Verse 2: Chuck Sutton]
familiar
you look so familiar from earlier
have we ever met before
familiar
you look so familiar from earlier
have we ever met before
[Chorus: Left at London]
My friends are kind of strange
I think they’re awf’ly sweet
If you ever would be interested,
I think you all should meet
My friends are kind of strange
I guess that so are we,
Cuz it’s only ever normal folks
That other me
[Verse 3: Left at London]
& it’s wonderful to have you near,
& it’s almost unreal
So it’s easy to be caught in the feeling,
How’re you feeling?
Our souls are the scripture
No faith in our frame
The difference is others
Might think we’re the same
They’re wrong;
‘Cause a friend is nothing more than a feeling
Love is a feeling
I know you feel
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4: Left at London]
No makeup on my arms,
No shame in feeling crazy
Nobody’s life makes
Perfect sense to everyone
Yes, we’ve been doing fine
Will I get through this? Maybe.
Survivin’ isn’t just how fast
That you can run
[Chorus: Left at London]
My friends are kind of strange
I think they’re awf’ly sweet
If you ever would be interested,
I think you all should meet
My friends are kind of strange
I guess that so are we,
Cuz it’s only ever normal folks
That other me
[Chorus: Left at London & Friends]
My friends are kind of strange (woo!)
I think they’re awf’ly sweet (no no no no no no)
If you ever would be interested,
I think you all should meet
(My friends are kind of strange)
My friends are kind of strange
I guess that so are we,
Cuz it’s only ever normal folks
That other me
(Whoa)
My friends are kind of strange
I think they’re awf’ly sweet
If you ever would be interested,
I think you all should meet
(My friends are kind of strange)
My friends are kind of strange
I guess that so are we,
Cuz it’s only ever normal folks
That other me
(No no no, no no no, no-hoh)

Left At London recommends:
Child Bearing Man
by Little Teeth
This album is honestly one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Horribly underrated. Folky, raw, punkish, and heartbreakingly cryptic.

Forget Your Own Face

continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust.

Dreamy doom-pop for the spooky season from Seattle's Tylo.

The excellent new LP from Seattle’s Fotoform pairs the moodiness of goth with drifting dream pop melodies, resulting in bewitching songs.
